Set amidst the mountain landscapes of northern New Mexico, this 200+/- acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of rich historical and natural beauty. Located just 70 miles from Santa Fe and surrounded by the majestic Carson National Forest, the ranch boasts 1 miles of El Rito Creek frontage, and almost 3 miles of National Forest boundary. The property features a wealth of wildlife, including a thriving population of elk, mule deer, and black bears, making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife aficionados alike. With unlimited landowner elk tags and over-the-counter deer tags, it presents excellent hunting opportunities amidst breathtaking scenery. El Rito Creek boasts a healthy population of Native Rio Grande Cutthroat trout, a rarity in Western Rivers, which are predominantly inhabited by non-native fish.The estate includes a historic grand lodge, three log cabins, and a charming log barn, all dating back to 1920s. Originally built by Boston Transplant, Carol Stanley, as an expansion of her popular San Gabriel Ranch, the property was once known as Canjilon Camp. In the 1920s and 30s, it served as a gathering place for Santa Fe’s prominent art, literary, and anthropology community, hosting memorable expeditions and cultural exchanges. Carol later went on to found Ghost Ranch, paving the way for Georgia O’Keefe, Mabel Lujan Dodge, and other significant women in New Mexico’s early history.Just a short drive from the artistic hub of Abiquiu, the quaint village of El Rito, and Ojo Caliente Resort and Spa, this property offers both seclusion and proximity to cultural and recreational amenities. San Gabriel del Rito would make an amazing private family retreat, a great adventure camp location, or an exceptional hunting and fishing ranch. This offering embodies the essence of New Mexico’s rich heritage and natural splendor.
